Philippine Dreams

Perry Gamsby, 2009, Streetwise Publications, available in eBook .pdf and as a paperback through Lulu.com ISBN: 978-0-9806346-0-0 , 230 pages.

This is a very interesting book for anyone who is contemplating any involvement with the Philippines, either a vacation or even working or retiring there. It is a bit disjointed in that the first 160 or so pages are an entertaining and often hilarious expose of what life is truly like for foreigners in the Philippines. The second part is more informative with detailed advice on everything from visa’s to domestic helpers, getting work to getting ill and even dying.

The author has had a lot of first hand experience in living in the Philippines and this is obvious as you laugh your way through his attempts to shop, get a driving license or survive the absence of toilet paper in Filipino public restrooms. While there is a very funny chapter on the  local fiesta, there is a more serious side to the book as Perry tells some home truths about ‘mail order brides’, a term he detests by the way.

Overall ‘Philippine Dreams’ is a worthwhile volume to have, either on your hard drive as an ebook or on your shelf as a paperback book. It is informative, updated for 2009 and also a very enjoyable book to read. Formatting and layout is a little amateurish but this does not in any way detract from the invaluable content, which after all is what we buy the book for in the first place.
